Title: Amazon to launch mp3 download store
Post by: bellenseb on December 19, 2006, 12:29:00 pm
Apparently all the tracks will be DRM-free MP3s. Is eMusic in trouble? It could be an attractive alternative for those who don't want to subscribe but just get a track once in a while (or who don't want to blow their whole allotment on one Guided by Voices album).

i dunno most eMusic users download the entire album and not the odd track... Plus, eMusic has such a deep catalog of stuff Amazon probably wont carry...

I remember years ago Amazon tried to do this but were blown away when iTunes opened. Amazon was selling whole albums for $18.99 or the single tune for $1.99. I am interested in seeing how this develops though.

Sounds interesting, but the article is incorrect. Scott Ambrose Reilly is not called Bullethead because of his "distinctive scalp".

I download a lot of songs on Amazon.  There's no need to use the downloader... I just click on [Buy] and I get the mp3 file directly.

click on "Your Account" in top right corner.  There will be a section called "Digital Content" and you can redownload the MP3s you've purchased there.

it only gives me the option for the .amz file. never an mp3.

must be your settings, or maybe you should uninstall the downloader thing.  when I browse tunes, I get this icon under the Dowload column: (http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/digital/music/order/btn-med-1click-buy-mp3._V28794619_.gif); if I click it I get the mp3 file directly
